Episode Description
The death of your baby is not something that is viewed as a sad thing happened. It is a major loss and greatly impacted your life. Your baby was a much-wanted child who was already loved unconditionally by you. You had plans, dreams and hopes for your child. Losing a baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death is a traumatic experience for the mother carrying the child but also a great loss for the other parent. It is often the parents that lean on each other for comfort and healing. Dealing with this loss can be a lonely and intensely emotional experience and support may not always be sought out or even worse not available. Empty Arms was organized because the people in the community recognized the lack of support for parents who lost their babies and were left struggling on their own. This show is a space where you can find comfort knowing you are not alone.
